Anantara Kalutara Resort Reviews

We had a rest in the beginning of August. It is not the season. There is a beach next to the hotel, but you can not swim in it! You can only watch a beautiful sunset sitting on the shore! All tourist locations are VERY far away, take note! The staff is friendly, everyone is smiling. Cleaning in the room 50/50, the bed linen is changed only when you say so, the robes are not renewed either, disposable slippers are also provided only once (nothing was changed for us), but you must definitely say. It was strange for me that every time the staff touched my things, on the dressing table cosmetics (and it is obvious that they wiped the dust superficially, but still touched), or on the sofa or bed, they touched my things, it is disgusting! I always had to control whether I left something in the wrong place and think about whether the staff would touch it! Things just lie on the chair, they fold them in their own way! Or there are things on the sofa, they will put them differently!!!! And also, we noticed that the water that is poured into bottles, most likely, is poured into these vessels again, because all the glass bottles are "used", which calls into question the filling (where does this water come from?!). As for the food, for some it is different ... I ate only fruit / yogurt and scrambled eggs, everything else is tasteless. Dinner is $ 55 (it was not included for us), it is not worth the money, everything is disgusting! Except for the flatbreads that they make themselves and fruit 😄 The young man ate local cuisine, of course they can cook it, but the usual food (European) of course is not very tasty. But since the location of the hotel is not a tourist location, there is no choice in restaurants and cafes. We had to pay $ 55 and eat what we eat. Lost -3 kg in 6 days 🤪 THANK YOU! ☺️

The room is spacious, the facilities are complete, the environment is beautiful, the service staff are all very polite, even if you don't leave the hotel, you can still have fun with your children

As an Anantara, the standards in all aspects are in place. The hotel is very beautiful and the staff are very friendly. NADEESHANI, the girl in the children's club, is very patient. The children like to play with her very much. The whole hotel is amazing. comfortable

Anantara's hotel has always been stable in luxury + good service, and the children also loved the rock climbing and zip lining activities inside. The most amazing thing is their check-in and check-out ceremony, which is full of enthusiasm and sense of ceremony. I was also lucky enough to observe the small but exquisite celebration held by the hotel for the 76th anniversary of Lanka's independence. It is a quiet seaside hotel suitable for vacation with beautiful views of the sea and lagoon.

The hotel is very beautiful. The guy at the front desk was very enthusiastic and took photos for us from the best view of the hotel. There is a ceremony for check-in and check-out, which is great. The hotel has several restaurants with good taste. In addition, there are many hotel activities that can be booked: beach volleyball, forest yoga, ziplining, etc.

Stayed alone for 2 days. ➕ All the staff are friendly. Number of items on the breakfast buffet. Western food, Sri Lankan food, Indian food, so you won't get tired of it every day. There are two pools, so you don't have to be crowded. There was a gym and a daily program, and I participated in morning and evening training sessions, but since I was the only one there, I was given one-on-one instruction, which was really fun. The cleaners are very friendly. The room was spacious and I could hear the birds singing. Being able to see the sunset on the nearby beach every day. ➖ When I wanted to grab a few drinks and grab a bite to eat in the evening, the Italian restaurant was closed and when I tried to use the bar, there weren't many vegetarian or vegan options. Nothing around. The nearby beach has too high waves for swimming.

I like the style of the hotel very much, with unique details and a sense of design; there are very few Asian foods, all of them are Southeast Asian flavors, and there are few choices for Chinese people. overall satisfaction

I felt very bad when I arrived because I kept saying that I couldn't find the reservation record. After waiting for an hour, I contacted Ctrip later. The person in charge of the other party showed up, upgraded the room, and gave me dinner. Ctrip is still reliable. The hotel is very large overall, and the view from the rooms facing the sea is okay. The food and beverages are basically in line with expectations. I only ate shrimp🦐. When I left the next day, there were many companies here for team building, and there were so many people. It was still a very local hotel.

Fantastic 10 day stay; this is a beautiful hotel with exceptional staff. We stayed in a Villa initially, but then asked for an ocean view suite, which was perfect to see and hear the sea and beach from the top floor. We took trips to Galle, a tea plantation, the Bawa brothers houses and gardens, a water safari and Jeep safari, all arranged by the hotel. All amazing. Staff who really went above & beyond: Eranga, Sanga and Yeshan. Thank you.

The stay was absolutely amazing and Heshan who was taking care of us during our lunch time was great and we loved his service The room and the welcome was great too which we really appreciated me and my wife. Pool was amazing the food was great. Hopefully will be back again

The hospitality is out of the world. Special thanks to Roshi and Anne. These girls are assets. My room number and name was always remembered. Amazing pool. All meals were excellent. The fruits were amazing and it’s really hard to find fault here. Thanks.

I would defentely recommend the resort. You've al of facilities and you definitely can't get bored! The resort and rooms are clean and the staff is really really friendly. Thank you Mr. Pubudu and staff for making it pleasant and wonderful for us.

What makes a place stand out is the personal touch to detail. We certainly experienced this at the Anantara Resort in Kalutara. Guests are greeted by female dancers dressed in traditional attire and one cannot help feel very special by this greeting as you enter the resort. Complimentary cold pressed face towels along with hibiscus tea with a touch of cinnamon refresh you in the humidity. The ambience of the location is pure serenity and one has a choice of beach vs lagoon. Our room faced the ocean and watching the sunset was a treat from our own balcony. A walk around the premises offer some bird watching opportunities and the layout of the boardwalk embraces you along the lagoon. The catering staff have indeed learned how to attend to your culinary needs and tantalise your taste buds with suggestions from the buffet. We were made to feel at home amongst many guests and although our stay was for the weekend, we did feel a sense of connection with the staff who's smiles and approachability is unique to this resort. Our appreciation and thanks go to Mahesha who welcomed us so warmly and was very patient in answering our questions about our stay. Udeni, the hopper extraordinaire who made the crispiest hoppers, especially the most delicious pani hoppers I've had. To Kalana, Koshitha, Nadun, Anne and Deepak who were at our service when we needed verification about food preferences and fill ups of cold and warm water to keep hydrated. Our plates and cups were replenished with a great combination of food and I definitely would love to revisit this beautiful resort at some point in the future. Recommend this gem to those who simply want a place away from the bustle and hustle of city life...

This is one of the fabulous stays so far. Nice hotel in a nice location with beach. Spacious rooms with lots of amenities. Great food and activities to top up the stay. Also friendly staff attending the details of your needs. Specially I want to thank Krish go went extra mile helping and catering to our needs. Answering our calls during his off time also. We will come back soon
